Tyrann Mathieu

A few acres and a barn!!!

My dad passes away peacefully today. He was comfortable and surrounded by love ones. I Will keep you updated but as of now I need a few days. Thanks for all the love and prayers. Long Live cornbread, my dad!

Just had Lyft ride with an openly racist against black people driver. I repeatedly pushed back on things he was saying while trying to have a respectful conversation. A minority himself, speaking with broken English, he firmly stood his ground. My heart breaks for the hate some of us have. My heart breaks that so many of my black brothers and sisters are silently (and loudly) hated for their skin, their essence, their being. I don’t know what the perfect words would have been. I know I could’ve said things differently. I don’t think I would have changed his mind during my short ride. But one thing is for sure, we must start with love. We must teach love, show love, embrace love. Telling him he was racist or a POS wouldn’t have helped. I don’t share this to be “look at me” or to be the white dude trying to be an ally, but just as a reminder that racism is alive and well. As a country, we must find love.
